MAGrNETO POST.

Applcation led April 11, 1922.

To 07] whom if may com-ern.'

lie it known that l. lloN C, l'lris'iizn, a citizen ot' the United States, residing at )'laishall, in the county of Logan and State of Oklahoiiia, have invented certain new and useful liupi'oveinents in Magneto Poets. ot' which the following is a speeii'icationv This invention relates to niagneto posts for connecting electric Wires with the coils ot the inagnetos used on inotor cars in connection with internal con'ibustion engines: and it consists in the novel conlitruction and combination of the parts hereinafter tally described and clai'iiied, .vhei'eby a good electric contact is assured, and whereby the device can be removed and replaced with facility.

1n the drawings, Figure 1 is a side view ot' a magneto post constructed according' to this invention, and showing the fastening disk in section. Fig. 'l is an end vieu' ot the device.

The post body l has an insulator 5 secured in it. and (l is a rod electrode secured in the insulator and provided at one end 'with a helical spring' coil t'or niakiug' contact with the iuagneto. The, outei' end ot' the rod has nuts T tor the attachiuent ot the electric wire o in the usual manner.

A poi'tion 1() of the casing' ol' the iuagneto is shown, and it has an opening' l2 to aduiit the inner end Vportion ot' the insulator'. fastening disk 11- is provided, and is secured periiianeiitly by screws l5 to the casing' iffl around the opening l2. This disk llhas a tubular center portion lo and a peripheral liange 1h which project Jtroni it in the saure direct ion and l'orni an annular groove. rl`he center portion 1G is screwthreaded interinilly to engage with and support the post body. packing cylinder lT is arranged between Serial N0. 551,616.

the disk l-L and the side of the magneto casing, and its outer end is inserted in the said annular groove.

This packing cylinder holds the center portion 16 and the flange 1S clear ot the casing, and it has holes for the fastening screws 1.3.

The hole 12 in the The post ternally, and

body is screwthreaded exscrewed into the tubular center portion 1G, and it has a hexagonal outer part 2U tor a wrench to The post body can be reiuoved with great facility, whenever engage with. and replaced the spring needs cleaning, o i sonie other purpose iuakes it desirable to reinoye the post bodv.

lvhat l claiin is: A inagneto contact comprising a short tubular body adapted to be arranged about the niagjneto contact opening of a magneto easing. an annular disk applied to the outer end ot the short tiibulai' body and having inner and outer strengthening flanges delning an annular groove snugly receiving the outer portion ot said short tubular body, said inner strengthening flange being in- *.eriiallv threaded. a

contact ineinber threaded through said inner lange and extending beyond the inner end of said short tubular iueniber,

and fastening devices e.\:

tending through said annular' disk and said bodyY and adapted to connect the body to a inagiieto easing.

l'ii testimony 'whereof l have all'xed iuy signature.
